New Concept
We are delighted to bring you a fresh new dining experience in our Winery restaurant.
The new lunchtime menu features a regularly changing selection of small plates and platters made for sharing. Featuring the finest seasonal ingredients, the dishes are all curated to pair with our Sussex Sparkling wines available by the glass.
We are also open for longer hours, from 12pm to 5.45pm, Wednesday to Sunday. Reservations are advised but walk-in visitors are also welcome, subject to availability.
Whilst we will no longer serve evening meals, we are looking forward to hosting more Wine Dinner events in the Tasting Room. Dinner service is available in the Flint Barns.
Afternoon Light Bites
Relax into the afternoon at the Tasting Room with a glass of Sussex and delicious nibbles. From 3.30pm, we will continue to serve a paired-down menu featuring snacks, sweets, artisan cheeses and a selection of small plates, the perfect accompaniment to a leisurely afternoon at the Estate. Last food orders at 5.45pm.

Dine in the Vines: Seafood

Seasonal Menus
Provenance and a sense of place feature in every menu, meaning ingredients don’t have to travel too far to reach your plate. Our menu changes regularly based on conversations with our suppliers and their seasonal recommendations.
Larger Groups
The Tasting Room has space to accommodate groups up to 12 people located at the end of the restaurant. Perfect for special occasions. Please call us to reserve.

A Restaurant in Alfriston
If you’re looking for a restaurant in Alfriston, let us welcome you to Rathfinny. Our wine Estate is located in one of the oldest villages in Sussex, most famously home to Alfriston Clergy House which was the first property purchased and saved by the National Trust.
Alfriston is frequently cited as one of Britain’s ‘prettiest villages’ to visit, known for its 14th century inns, independent restaurants, boutiques and stunning walking routes along the Cuckmere River.
Located within our Sussex Heritage award-winning Winery, the Tasting Room offers breath-taking, panoramic views of the Vineyard and South Downs.
As a B Corp, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. The restaurant you sit in is powered by renewable energy and our Sussex Sparkling wines are produced in the Winery next door.
